Sports Truths

@TGreenhutOD Ritchie Waldrep Tornes Bagwell Sign me up. Padres won’t do it. But I’d sure take that as a Braves fan

I would bet a lot of money Mason Miller is not getting traded. BUT if he were, for fun, this would be my absolute max offer structure: Two of Ritchie/Murphy/Waldrep/AJSS One of Gil/Tornes/Lodise One of Braun/Baumann/Hernandez/Bagwell/Guanipa/Drake Give me all the Mason Miller.

Who made this? 😭

FIFA should just have America host every World Cup. Where else in the world do you have this many elite stadiums in cities capable of handling such an influx of foreign visitors? And it lines up with the American football offseason for easy conversion to soccer for the venues.

@fifamedia got what they wanted. Four big names in the semifinals. All about money. Shame. Rigged tournament. This will go down as the VAR tournament

VAR has once again benefited Argentina in the @FIFAWorldCup. Not even run to watch at this point. Ruining the game @fifamedia

@cryptojourneyrs Rigged

How do you stop the game for that?! Two English players run into each other. 🇳🇴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Norwegian player gets a YELLOW?! WILD.

@fifamedia Your sensor obviously isn’t operable. Video shows it hits the wire. Video showed it didn’t touch the Croatian player’s head. Your sensor doesn’t work. VAR and your technology is ruining the greatest sporting event in the world

Before England’s goal in minute 45+2 against Norway, the sensor in the Connected Ball showed no peak in the 'heartbeat of the ball' when in the air, and therefore no evidence that the ball touched the overhead wire and changed the movement of the ball.

@barstoolsports Why didn’t the sensor pick this up? It was able to fabricate a strand of hair vs Croatia

The sky cam may have had the assist of the tournament

@ManagerTactical Yes. You will not find a better option. Who else are we going to hire that would be better?

Would you keep Mauricio Pochettino as the USMNT 🇺🇸 head coach? If yes, why? If no, also why?

@FIFAcom shameful and obvious what FIFA is doing. This @FIFAWorldCup appears rigged for money. From the ticket costs to hydration breaks to VAR. It is not about the sport; it’s about money. Argentina get every VAR break because Messi brings viewership and money.

Can’t wait to spent $80 to buy a non-physical copy of a game I don’t actually own so I can boot it up and be heavily incentivized to pay more money if I want to experience key features like leveling up my player. The future of gaming looks bright! #cfbplaydontpay

Yesterday EA partially responded due to #CFBPlayDontPay, but they did almost nothing. It felt like they were seeing what they could get away with. However, this shows they’re willing to cave now, but we have to keep making our voices heard They’re probably thrilled it’s Friday, and hoping this all blows over during the weekend, but it won’t until they give the community what they deserve Remove microtransactions from single player game modes and put back ALL of the fast XP sliders that were just in CFB 26.

@HotStoveintel 👀

Braves spent $3M on Briggs McKenzie to keep him from heading to LSU. Strikes me as an overpay. Don’t love Atlanta’s drafts for the past few yrs.

@YahooFantasy @Yahoo Team Offense??? No thanks

Fantasy Football is going back to school. 📣 College Fantasy Football is now on @Yahoo. Get started now: yahoofantasy.com/college

@CFBDirect Remover micro transactions and I’ll buy the game

Hey #CFB27 fans, We can't wait to welcome you all for tomorrows World Wide Launch! To prepare for launch, tomorrow morning's server maintenance will begin at 6 AM ET. During this time, all online modes, and Team Builder will be unavailable. Please be sure to complete all online games before maintenance begins!

@USMNTNews2 Bro said he was ready to rest

The discourse around Pulisic the last couple days has been ridiculous: - Nations League winning goal vs MEX in 2021 - World Cup winning goal vs Iran to send us through - Brace vs MEX in 2023 Nations League semis - hat trick vs PAN in WCQ to clinch our spot in the World Cup

You would have to win the national championship every single year for the next 150 years to max out your coach in College Football 27 for free. Or you can just pay EA ninety nine dollars and ninety nine cents. I own this game and I'm not touching it until this gets fixed. It's Dynasty mode, single player, I'm not playing against anyone, and last year there was a setting for exactly this, Fast, Fastest, and now it's gone, deleted, replaced with a price tag on the same thing. Road to Glory got it worse. Taking a created player from a 50 overall to an 80 overall runs about fifty bucks, against a coordinator who isn't even real. A creator named @bordeauxyoutube, somebody who's defended this franchise for years, messaged an EA developer and asked if the fast settings got pulled on purpose. Got ghosted, not a yes, not a no, just nothing. @NotTheExpertYT, another guy who's been fair to this franchise for years, called it heinous, and when your own defenders start reaching for that word, EA should be worried. Who sits in a meeting and signs off on charging a grown man a hundred dollars to beat a computer faster? I can't get there. Ultimate Team, fine, that's always been pay to win, you know the deal. This one's different, call it what it is, a cover charge, a vig, and a valet fee, for a video game you play alone. It's DISGUSTING, and the wildest part is they were betting nobody would actually sit down and do the math on a hundred and fifty years. #CollegeFootball27 #EASports #CFBPlayDontPay

@Coach_BSimmons Not buying with micro transactions in the offline modes. @EASPORTSCollege

College Football 27 Buy or pass? I've been hearing that the new microtransactions are disrupting gameplay, especially in Dynasty and Road to Glory. Is it really that bad, or is the backlash overblown?

@CuzzinArnie @Xziphoz @bordeauxyoutube @EASPORTSCollege No the development of this years game is for EA to make more money

@Xziphoz @bordeauxyoutube @EASPORTSCollege And the development of this years title is to make it harder! It’s not the same game as last year and that’s what y’all are failing to understand. With them making it harder for the person who plays a lot they also met in the middle for those who can’t

If I wasn’t clear enough yesterday, I will never work with @EASPORTSCollege again if they don’t reverse these decisions. EA’s playbook will be to wait out the backlash. That’s why this conversation can’t stop. And trust me… we’re not the only ones who feel this way. #CFBPlayDontPay
